Because perception becomes reality, and this further tarnishes the perception of atheism. Because this is petty. Because they never even visited the restaurant. Because they never even tested how this discrimination was carried out or even verified that anyone ever had been discriminated against.
The owner herself said that the 'prayer' discount would be given out for a 'moment' of reflection.' Come on. It's not against the law to offer an incentive for a particular group of people based on ideology or principle. Military discounts, senior citizen discounts, local resident discounts, there's even a restaurant near where I live that has a discount for gay couples. You get a discount for fulfilling a requirement. No one is being discriminated against. Everyone can still eat there, no one is being turned away.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
